Do any of you 2/17 folks have phenomenal numbers? I read somewhere on Duke's website that they dont do waves, so the fact that so many numbers are changing today makes me fearful of a reject.

I'm with you thinking that its a bunch of rejects or (slightly more hopefully??) waitlists...

Or maybe were that group of people who they want to sit on for a few more months so they said "F*ck it change their dates again lmao".

I like to speculate.

LSAT>75th, GPA<<25th, above average softs, visited campus, wrote a Why Duke that was pretty good. I thought I was a strong applicant but we'll see.

Anybody know when we can expect some movement from PR list? Also, anyone know how splitter-friendly Duke's been this cycle? My GPA<25, but LSAT>75.

Not that I saw, people are just making assumptions based off of the characteristics of those who moved forward in the review process.

"We find its always better to ding people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week."

Thanks. Looks like applying late hurt me a bit. I see some non-URMs with worse or comparable GPAs and LSATs who got accepted. Sucks because I had my materials pretty much ready to go by November but got stuck waiting for an LOR.

Waitlist. Knew it :lol:

Don't think I will remain on it long - fortunately, I have other choices that I love.

Good luck to all the rest!
